The unit has a cub-alike design and comes in purple color. The first variation of the product, the one that was made between and had a codename DOL and it used 46w charger and AV cables alongside progressive scan to connect to a TV.
All versions after this time frame are referred to as DOL and they have 48 watts adapter and better video connectivity.
They can also use cheats while playing games. The console was generally popular. Gamers liked the powerful games, superb controllers and the overall quality. However, features were a drawback of the Nintendo GameCube. In a nutshell, Nintendo was able to sell over 21 million units. It was replaced by Wii in Wii is compatible with most games developed for Nintendo GameCube.
The closest thing Animal Crossing had to a main quest was upgrading your home and paying off your loans, but even that was optional, with no interest or due dates attached to the upgrades. It was the kind of game to make you reconsider what makes a good video game and I'm always happy for surprises like that.
The original and best, Pikmin makes the most of its delicately simple ruleset. Essentially a small-scale strategy game where you use an army of tiny "Pikmin" to lift objects and solve puzzles, Pikmin stretches its high concept to the absolute limits.
It's a Nintendo game, so movements feel fun and sticky, but the meta-game is the real star. The more you play the more balanced you realise Pikmin actually is. Just a perfect, beautiful little video game. Maybe the most controversial major Mario release ever. Super Mario Sunshine was derided upon release, then loved in hindsight. Recently, as part of the Mario 3D All-Stars package, it feels like the pendulum has swung once more and people are complaining about it again.
It's flawed no doubt. It never achieves the perfect simplicity of Mario 64 or the inspired kaleidoscopic madness of Super Mario Galaxy, but Super Mario Sunshine has its own delightful aesthetic. It's a wild game. Not perfect, but incredibly fun nonetheless.
Wipeout dominated the futuristic racer discourse back then, but F-Zero GX was arguably a better expression of pure, sci-fi speed.
It also looked glorious. F-Zero GX was smooth, slick and just an absolute joy to play. The single player mode was notoriously difficult, but in hindsight that was part of its cult appeal.
The fact we haven't had an F-Zero game since the release of this classic is almost criminal. Retro Studios defied expectations with the first Metroid Prime, masterfully reinterpreting Nintendo's atmospheric side-scrolling series as a first-person adventure.
Its inevitable follow-up, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, expanded on the formula with more complex environments and even bigger bosses, resulting in another instant GameCube classic. As with the original, the setting itself was the star attraction. In a nod to the Zelda classic, A Link to the Past, Samus traverses two mirror worlds in Metroid Prime 2: the arid Aether and its dark counterpart, a murky parallel universe created when the planet was struck by a rift-forming meteor.
This gave Aether an even more ominous feel than Tallon IV -- thanks in large part to the dark world's suffocating atmosphere -- and using the power-ups you gained to navigate the expertly crafted environmental puzzles felt immensely satisfying. Metroid Prime 2 also ramped up the difficulty, featuring some of the tensest boss encounters in the series' history.
These battles were as much a test of wit as of reflex, as nearly every foe had some sort of pattern or puzzle to figure out. It may not be remembered quite as fondly as the original -- very few games are, after all -- but Metroid Prime 2 was another riveting adventure that further proved how well the Metroid series worked in first-person.
Sure it was multiplatform, but given the addition of Link as a playable character on the roster, Soulcalibur II always felt very Nintendo to me. Also: It ruled. It was almost certainly the peak of the 3D fighting genre back then and it rarely got better than this. In the next generation we went back to Street Fighter IV and fighting games changed on us -- possibly for the better? But for this generation of consoles, Soulcalibur II was king. The first game from Clover Studio, the short lived team responsible for a slew of critically acclaimed video games like Okami, Viewtiful Joe, in many, was the prototype for the Clover style.
A slick, fluid 2D beat 'em up, elevated by a unique art style, Viewtiful Joe was a polished homage to video games from a bygone era. There are few games that make players frantically look around and wonder "what the hell is going on" like Eternal Darkness. At its core, the game isn't much different from Resident Evil, but the big difference were sanity effects. These little events were designed to directly mess with the player's head.
From the controller being unresponsive to a screen saying your saved game was deleted, players never knew what was going to happen, which was part of the fun. Eternal Darkness was also heavily-inspired by H.
It required those who finished the game and received all the endings to look at the author's stories to piece together the deeper themes of the game. For me, Eternal Darkness presented me something fresh even though how the game actually played was par for the course. Seeing the first screenshots of the Resident Evil remake convinced me to buy a GameCube at launch.
Nearly two decades later, this game still looks astoundingly good and remains utterly terrifying. Capcom didn't settle for a mere visual upgrade; this remake added so many new mechanics, areas and puzzles that it felt like a completely different game to the original.
It remains the ultimate expression of the classic Resident Evil formula and it was exclusive to Nintendo systems for years an excellent HD remaster is available on every platform. I'll never forgive Pikmin 2 for abandoning the time limit that made the original Pikmin so tense and rewarding, but Pikmin 2 is still worth your time. The multiplayer component was the real standout for me. Before online gaming was truly a thing on consoles, I spent many hours with my girlfriend, playing frantic multiplayer Pikmin matches.
We got frighteningly good.
